Two young men from Aberdeen have seen a gap in the market and started a cleaning business.
Lunga Klaasen and Alfred Gouws are operating a car wash service on a spacious property on the main road into Thembalesizwe. They had been unable to find jobs, and were determined not to have to resort to crime. Many local companies have helped them with donations of cleaning materials to start them off, and business is doing well. The men are also willing to clean cars at customers’ homes or work, and can complete a full professional valet service in about an hour.

Sensibly, they have started off in a small way, but their dream is to expand and be able to offer a full house – cleaning service, including carpets and upholstery. Any donations to help this would be much appreciated. Job creation for others is also a goal - to keep the children off the streets - and already they have one school pupil who helps out at weekends.
